Since graduating NYIT, he has directed two feature films and a documentary on famed Austrian painter Friedensreich Hundertwasser.

He has worked at the famed City Hall as a cameraman and was honored by the former Mayor of New York City for his documentation of "The Gates" installation by Christo & Jeanne-Claude, which inspired Conrad to move into public art.

Conrad has received many awards and accolades, most notably the Pollack-Krasner grant, a writing fellowship from the Edward F. Albee foundation and a Ruth Katzman residency scholarship from the Art Students League.

He has received substantial press for his parking meters sculptures, which Conrad hopes to make into a city wide art project. His first installation will be at Rockaway Beach in Queens in the summer of 2016.
